WIFI controlled Mario piranha plant
Introduction
This project was realized while streaming live at https://www.twitch.tv/chrisfigge.
I got this piranha plant as a christmas-gift but I think it's much cooler to use it as a remote controlled gadget while streaming.
So I wrote a lot of code, printed a lot of stuff and did this electronic-thingie.
But this time with a lot of help from the mighty community.0FR0 tried to teach me KiCad and developed my first PCB ever.
Many, many thanks, dude! Awesome job!
The printing is very straight forward.
If you're interested in code, pcb, scheme, or BOM with direct links,
just take a look at the project's repository:https://github.com/flazer/piranha-plant
Assembly
To assemble the 3d printed parts. You will need some glue, to glue the inlay parts.
Because I'm not very good in get parts in correct position, I've printed a centering guide.
Just place the guide onto the platform and glue the "hill" nearly perfectly centered onto the baseplate. Remove the guide afterwards.

I really don't know why, but I'm not able to add this information to the model above. So maybe some day Brian Brocken will see this: Hey Brian. Thanks for your awesome model I've used to build this project!
